I enjoyed this StAIR. I think it has a simple, scaffolded approach to defining UX to someone who is not familiar. The examples that are outside of the HCI and computer design fields help to relate the content to the profession. I do think that some audio may help, just when considering accessibility.The interface is easy to navigate for students. Moving through the content is fluid and the narrative makes complete sense.The one portion I thought could have some more guidance was the chart about the parts of UX design. This chart was very text heavy and students could get lost with out any guidance. Perhaps a graphic, a screen cast walking students through the visual or some call outs might help to make it more digestable.The assessment is adequate and a nice review of the content. I was suprised when I got the fill the blank question correct, as the answer seemed almost to simple and intuitive. Overall, I really liked the presentation.

Cory, this is an excellent StAIR. Leaners go through multiple levels of direct instruction, interactive learning and assessment. The format is a superb example of instructional design principles at work.I love the interactive email activity. I think you keep the learners engaged throughout the entire demonstraction with things like that.The pacing of this was great. Assessments came at great intervals, which keeps the student from forgetting or feeling overwhelmed. I also like that when a wrong answer is clicked the student is redirected to the content for review.I think one thing that may help this StAIR is to have audio, perhaps optional audio. Technical Remarks:I noticed just two technical problems:The animations on slide 18 did not play. So I had to leave the presentation in order to move on, and I missed that content.The email activity, where the user clicks on each email and is given a reason to open or not, looped and I had to leave the presentation and reenter at the next slide. Those are all the problems I noticed!

This lesson is really well setup and I can imagine it as an online course or module. It looks to me that there will be a great mix of direct instruction, interactive activities and then assessment to make sure the content hits home. I especially like that the feedback to answers provide context when answering the questions.Great work, Cory.
